SAP

There are some really great developers.

Good work-life balance. Good benefits. Several great people who take pride in their work. A collaborative environment with other devs eager to help you.

If you're older, have a family, just want stability with good work-life balance, and not keep up with current technology, this is the place for you.

Intern salary is good.

My manager was completely incompetent, often pitting employees against each other and literally asking an employee to "choose who to throw off a boat" between two interns in order to determine which would get the full-time offer. All the great developers are at risk of leaving due to this manager's incompetence.

I highly, highly recommend staying away from the Utilities team in the Montreal office.

I was an intern who was offered a full-time position. I decided to reject that offer and got fired on the spot because of it, with my manager stating I wasn't a team player since I didn't want to sign on full-time at a very low salary.

Another employee was offered another job within SAP, and the manager threatened this employee that because he was looking elsewhere for another job, that if he decided to stay, "we will have problems."

This is who the manager is; he is vindictive and spiteful.

The manager says things are "team decisions" when they are obviously not and refuses to take responsibility for his own actions.

ABAP is ancient technology and doesn't help you anywhere else except for SAP. The move to cloud development has been painfully slow, with architects and upper management completely lost, leading to SAP being completely behind in the cloud. Several top executives (Robert Enslin, Bernd Leukert, Bjoern Goerke) have left the company, with another 4400 employees being laid off.

The salary is really low compared to the rest of Montreal despite what it says here on Glassdoor. However, the intern salary is pretty good.

Architects for Java projects don't even know Java or take the time to learn it, leading to a complete loss of direction and junior devs designing the entire project on their own.

You will be promised and shown many cool things such as work from home and Xbox, but if you actually use them, you will be given a hard time.

All the important work is in Germany, with little attention given to the Montreal office.

If you're young, want to move up the ladder, and be exposed to cool new technologies, avoid at all costs.

If you're interviewing for the Utilities team in Montreal, RUN!

Hire competent managers. Have better policies to protect interns from situations like this.
